5 months ago my 5 year relationship with my ex-boyfriend ended abruptly. We lived together and one evening he just left. I have not seen him since and only exchanged 1 email where I expressed my feelings about the way he left and how it made me feel. I felt this was a healthy thing to do so I could move on.
A month and a half ago I met a guy and proceeded to have a very casual relationship. After the third time of being intimate, I decided that I didn't want to pursue it anymore, aware that I was beginning to get emotionally attached. Not being emotionally available to even have a relationship with anyone, I thought this would be for the best. Since making that decision, those feelings of attachment have got stronger and now I find myself thinking about him a lot and wanting to re-establish the connection. It's kind of driving me a bit crazy despite the knowledge that he is likely meeting other women. Has anyone else had a similar experience after a break-up? Is this normal?
